Spring has sprung, and there’s a whole bunch of new Apple Watch bands to celebrate. They sport “vibrant colors and unique designs,” Apple says — and they’ll be available to purchase from select stores and carriers around the world later this month.

The new Apple Watch collection features woven nylon bands, exclusive Nike Sport loops, sport bands, leather Hermès straps, and more. Here are the variations available for each model of Apple Watch.

With the exception of the Hermés straps, each option is available in both 38mm and 42mm sizes. Apple says you’ll be able to get them at Apple stores, Authorized Resellers, and carriers around the world later this month — but only “select” locations will carry them.

Some straps will also be available with Apple Watch itself.
